SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,399, datedSeptember-16, 1902. Application filed January 7, 1992. Serial No.88,710. (No model.)

To all whom/it vncty concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH F EMMERT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Waynesboro, inthe county of Franklin and State of,Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Vises;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description ofthe invention, 1

such as will enable others skilled in. the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates tovises; and it consists in the novelconstruct-ion and combination of the parts hereinafter fully describedsupport is preferably the arm which supports the work-table of adrilling-machine, the work-table being removed and the vise substitutedfor it, so .that the work may be held by the vise under the drill of thedrillingmachine. t

B is the table or frame of the vise, which is provided with adownwardly-projecting pillar or post 0 atone corner, which is pivoted inthe socket a" of the armor base A and secured there by the usualclampingscrew. The post 0 may be formed integral with the table B or itmay be rigidly secured to it, but the post C is preferably provided witha bearing 0 at its upper end, and the table B is preferably providedwith a socket b, which isjournaled on the hearing. The bearing-socket bis split upon one side, and b is aclamping-screw for securing the tablea after it has been swiveled around in a hori 5o=-fiange d on its upperside and a pivot-pin d. A

zontal plane to the required position. When the postis rigidly connectedto the table, the lower end ofthe post is turned in the socket of thearm A and clamped therein after be- I ing adjusted.

D is a cylindrical bearing provided with a he pivot-pinis secured to theflange and is pivoted in lugs e at the front edge of the table. Theflange is arranged between the two lugs, and E is a pointer secured! onthe projecting end portion of the pivot-pin adjacent to a graduatedscale 6, marked on or secured to .the exterior surface of one of thesaid lugs and indicating the inclination of the axis of the cylindricalbearing D. The axis of the bearing D is normallyhorizoutal, but it maybe set at any angle from zero to ninety degrees by means of a screw F,which is pivoted to one side of the hearing by a pin f. This screw isoperated by means of a revoluble nut f, which is supported from. thetable B.

Two brackets g 9' project downwardly from the under side of the table B,the outer bracket g being removable.

G is a guide-frame which is pivoted between the lugs g g under the tableand which is provided with a hole h for the passage of the screw F. Theguide-frame G has two slots 7 and i, and j is a pivot on one side of theframe, which engages with a hole in the bracket g. A short shaft Jisjournaled in the bracket g and in the frame G axially in line with thepivotj, so that the frame is pivoted between the two brackets g and g. Abeveled toothed wheel is secured on the shaft J in the sloti of theguide-frame and gears into a beveled toothed wheel 70, formed on orsecured to the nut f, which is arranged in the slot t" of theguide-frame. The shaft J is provided with a crank-handlej or otherequivalent means for revolving it. When the handlej is turned by hand,the nut is revolved by the beveled toothed wheels, and the screw ismoved longitudinally to vary and adjust the angle of the bearing D.

M is the inner vise-jaw, which is provided with a sleeve m, which is journ aled in the bear- Worm-wheel teeth mare formed in the and engageswith the worm-wheel teeth, the shaft 5 being journaled in the endsof-the chamber and heldin position by the cap. The shaft 5 is providedwith a small crankhandle 6 or other approved means for revolving it, andthereby revolving the inner visejaw. The bearing D has a graduatedscale, and the inner jaw has a mark for setting the vise-jaws.

P is the outer vise-jaw, provided with a hollow bar p, having alongitudinal slot 11 in one side of it. The bar p is slidablelongitudinally in the sleeve m of the inner vise-jaw.

R is the'usual vise-screw, which is journaled in the outer vise-jaw onthe axis of the bar 19 and which engages with a nut 7",- se-- 'ofgripping devices for engaging with the work, according to the nature ofit, and these gripping devices are arranged in a series around the jaws,as shown, and after the manner of turret-Vises. One pair of grippingdevices has cheeks 8 of hardened steel, and another pair has cheeks 9 ofsoft leather. Another pair of gripping devices consists of blocks 10,which are secured upon radial projections 11 on the vise-jaws. Theseblocks 10 have various curves and indentations on their sides, and theycan be turned around upon the projections 11 and secured to them, so asto hold a great'variety of objects of irregular shape. The variousgripping devices of the-turret vise-jaws are brought into action byturning the vise-jaws on their axis by means of the worm and worm-wheelteeth. The vise and its table are moved and adjusted as required and areso arranged as to have a practically universal adjustment.

What I claim is- -1. In a vise, the combination, with a supporting-base,of a flat vise-table pivoted to the base and lnovable'in a horizontalplane, a bearing hinged to one edge of the said visetable, and vise-jawscarried by the said bearing, substantially as set forth.

2. In a vise, the combination, with a supporting arm or base providedwith a socket, of a flat vise-table provided with adownwardly-projecting pivot pillar or post which engages with the saidsocket, a bearin g hinged to one edge of the said vise-table, andvisejaws carried by the said bearing, substantially as set forth. 7 r I3. In a vise, the combination, with a supporting-base, and a fiatvise-table arranged above it; of a vertical pillar or post interposedbetween'the said base and vise-table and pivotally connecting them, abearing hinged to one edge of the said vise-table, and vise-jaws"carried by the said bearing, substantially as set forth.

4. In a vise, the combination, with a supporting-base, and a pillarprojecting from it; of a flat vise-table provided with a contractiblebearing which is pivoted on the said pil lar, a bearing hinged to oneedge of the-said vise-table, and vise-jaws carried by the said bearing,substantially as set forth.

5. In a vise, the combination, with a flat vise-table, of a bearingarranged under and hinged to one edge of the said table, and visejawscarried by the said bearing, substantially as set forth.

6. In a vise, the combination,-with a flat vise-table provided with agraduated scale,

of a bearing arranged under and hinged to .said screw, and means forrevolving the said nut, substantially as set forth.

8. In a vise, the combination, with a visetable,a bearing pivoted to thetable, and visejaws carried by the said bearing; of a screw pivoted tothe said bearing, a revoluble nut for engaging said screw supported fromthe said table and carrying a beveled toothed wheel, a beveled toothedWheel also supported from the said table and gearing into the saidwheel, and means for revolving the said wheels, substantially as setforth.

9. In a vise, the combination, with a visetable having two brackets, abearing pivoted to the said table, and vise-jaws carried by the saidbearing; of a screw pivoted to the brackets andprovided with two slots,a not for engaging the said screw arranged in one of the said slots andcarrying a beveled toothed wheel, an operating shaft which forms one ofthe pivots for the said frame, and a beveled toothed wheel arranged inthe other said slot in gear with the said aforesaid wheel and securedupon the said operatingshaft, substantially as set forth.
